The term “handling” means unloading the machine from the means of
transport and positioning it in the place where it will be used. Upon receipt
the customer needs to unload the machine using his own means and store
it in a dry and protected place pending installation.
The machine is to be handled while still fastened on the wooden pallet
(see next paragraph) by suitably trained persons wearing the personal
protection devices.
WARNING
Handle the machine with extreme care, lifting it the minimum necessary and avoiding
dangerous oscillation and unbalancing.
Before moving the machine, it must be tied to the lift truck (or transpallet) to prevent
it from shifting and turning over.
Before lifting the machine with a lift truck or transpallet, make sure that the forks are properly positioned and protrude
from the opposite side by at least 30 cm.

the machine and positioning it on the ground.

truck. Prise on the base near the 3 support points as shown in the figure below.
